Apple Store order charging process

Hello everyone!


Recently I've ordered an iPhone 18 Pro Max from the Apple Store. The UI has shown me a final price, then I continued to the payment process. Bank app successfully sent me a 6-digit code, order was created. However, no money was charged or put on hold... Moreover, I've received an email from Apple about my order being processed. Is it expected? When do they supposed to charge me? I'm wondering if everything is okay with my order or I should do something.


Thanks for any replies! P.S. I'm not US citizen.

Normal. Apple does not bill until the item is ready to ship. “In process” means yours is still in the manufacturing queue.
